Although Coyle’s first interest in art in the late 1990’s included an introduction to first wave American Pop Art of the 1950’s, her figurative work focuses on contemporary imagery to push ideas and produce accomplished paintings of a Fine Art standards using process and execution of ideas.

She is also working on an ongoing abstract project which commenced in 2002. In recent years, this project had branched into installation work, and in 2018, the individual pieces received a special recognition and an award for excellence from Florida art gallery LightSpaceTime. This year, her ongoing work won an Honorable Mention Award from New Jersey’s J.Mane Gallery.
Coyle continues her work in abstraction and has started working on woodblock prints. In addition, after sixteen years, she was driven back to photography, focusing on Polaroid and 120mm cameras. In July 2019, her work in abstraction earned an interview feature in Murze Magazine. Most recently her figurative painting series ‘12.16’ won her a Special Artist Award from London’s BESTART.’
I am very interested in minimalism, abstraction, strength from line work and composition. Although my paintings are more commonly compared to Pop Art because of my use of a black ‘comic book’ line, it is in fact a style inspired by the drawings of Picasso and Matisse, whose use of strong line-work firstly captured my attention.
My use of strong colours does, however, come from my interests in first-wave Pop Art from the 1950’s and from my interest in coloured glass.
